Biography
Lucas develops electronics instrumentation for novel detection applications. At Cornell, he designed CMOS readout circuits for new x-ray detectors that opened windows to single particle x-ray diffraction measurements and time-resolved measurements of combusting metallic foils. During his time at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab he created radiation-hardened CMOS electronics for a time-of-flight based charged particle spectroscope destined for civilian space missions. Most recently, he led an electrical test team for cameras in mobile devices at a Fortune 500 company in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Research Interest
Instrumentation for photon detection, electronics for point-of-care and low-cost medical diagnostics, high-speed x-ray detectors, open source hardware, and CMOS imagers.
